Chen Yu helped Shen Xi resolve the situation of being besieged by her family. Then, he obediently ate his food and stopped drinking. He would even carefully cook the dishes for everyone. It was a happy and harmonious scene.

At this moment, the doorbell of the villa rang. Shen Xi immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go see who’s here.”

The auntie was not around for today’s family banquet, so Shen Xi could only go to the door herself.

Shen Xi immediately left the table after she finished speaking. She really wanted to leave this strange atmosphere for a while. This strange atmosphere was created by her family, as if she and Chen Yu were already husband and wife.

“Xi, sit down. Grandfather will go. Grandfather drank too much, so I can get up and take a walk.” Shen Hui’s abrupt words shocked everyone at the table. Shen Xi did not understand. When she saw Shen Hui’s serious face that suddenly did not have a smile, she nodded in a daze and said, “Oh, okay!’

Shen Hui had just stood up when Lu De stood up as well, causing Shen Xi to be baffled.

“Grandfather, what’s wrong?” Shen Xi asked curiously.

“Grandfather also wants to go out and sober up. I’ll be back later to eat hotpot with Xi.” Lu De laughed.

Shen Yan quickly picked up a piece of beef and placed it in Shen Xi!s bowl. “Xi, hurry up and eat. I haven’t seen you eat much at night.”

Lu Shan also invited Chen Yu to eat. Then, she stood up and said, “I’ll go wash some more fruits and vegetables.”

Lu Shan stood up and silently drew the curtains, blocking Guan Lei’s figure outside the iron gate.

Shen Xi replied with a soft “Oh” and then continued eating. However, the atmosphere at the table was obviously a little colder than before.

Chen Yu also had a puzzled look on his face, but he still hurriedly played to his strengths and heated up the scene again.

The moment Shen Hui opened the door, he saw Guan Lei standing at the entrance of the iron gate. He walked towards the iron gate and asked Guan Lei to leave with him with a cold face.

Before Guan Lei could say anything, he saw Shen Hui walking out of the door.

Lu De followed behind and closed the door.

Guan Lei followed Shen Hui and Lu De to a corner some distance away from the door. Before he could speak, Shen Hui questioned him in a low voice, “What are you doing here? We don’t welcome outsiders at our family banquet today.”

Guan Lei thought of Chen Yu, who was eating with Shen Xi’s family, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. He said embarrassedly, ‘1 1 live across the street. I came over today as a neighbour to say hello.”

Hearing Guan Lei’s words, Shen Hui and Lu De frowned deeply. They did not expect Guan Lei to be so persistent and stay directly opposite Shen Xi.

“There’s no need. We’re just neighbours. There’s no need to greet each other. Our Shen family is just a small family. It’s not worthy of you, Young Master Guan, to lower yourself to greet us.” Shen Hui said bluntly.

Lu De also chimed in, “We don’t like neighbours visiting. I hope Young Master Guan won’t come over again in the future. Otherwise, we don’t mind building a wall between the two houses.’

They knew that Shen Xi had been abandoned by Guan Lei back then, so how could they be nice to Guan Lei?

Of course, the most important thing was that they thought that Guan Lei and Shen Xi were ill-fated enemies. Otherwise, why would Shen Xi take the bullet for Guan Lei?

There were some things that grandfathers like them didn’t say, but it didn’t mean that they didn’t know.

“Grandfather Shen, Grandfather Lu, what happened before was my fault. I will treat Xi well in the future and make it up to her. I hope you can give me another chance. l…” Guan Lei said anxiously.

However, Shen Hui interrupted Guan Lei, “Impossible. Although our Shen and Lu families are not as rich as your Guan family, we are not poor either. We do not need your compensation. As for the opportunity, hmph, the two of you are not fated in this lifetime.’

“Young Master Guan, I hope you can understand that it’s not just you who isn’t suitable for our Xi. Your Guan family is a complicated family and is not suitable for our Xi. Please be magnanimous and let our Xi live a peaceful and happy life in this life.” Lu De said bluntly.

“Grandfather Shen and Grandfather Lu, I can handle this. Please trust me.’

Guan Lei held the gift box tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with sincerity.

“Forget it. We don’t like to hear big talk. Anyway, Guan Lei, we don’t welcome you here. Don’t come here again.” Shen Hui said.

Lu De glanced at Guan Lei. “We’ve said what we need to say. If you continue to pester Xi, don’t blame us for bullying you.”

After Lu De finished speaking, he called for Shen Hui to hurry in, leaving Guan Lei alone in silence..
